Second Gen. Glock 17...?

[phixion]

Is there any reason I should avoid getting a Gen. 2 Glock 17? The price is around $370 before shipping, etc. The price seems high but..

Truth be told, I have NO reason/use for it but I feel its one of those pistols that "everyone" should have. The fact that it doesn't have a rail discourages me but I like it because it doesn't have finger grooves.

I don't like it for home defense due to it having no light rail.
Um.. I have my XD9SC for concealed carry.
Um.. Range toy?!

Anyways, what say you?! Should I get a Gen. 2 Glock 17, just because?! What would you use it for?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Car gun?

Throw down?

IDPA?

Everyone should have a Gen II Glock 17, IMO.

I bought a gen 2 back in 1993, have had it since then. It has since run over 40,000 rounds through it. Still as accurate and reliable as the day I bought it. I'd buy another any day of the week.

If you're not buying it, I will. Where is it?

Truck gun. Buy it, replace all the worn parts/springs, and keep it and a spare mag or two mags in the glove box.

Wish I could find one locally. I'd buy it right now.

i'd rather have the 2nd gen. guns. don't care to much for the finger groves plus i think the 2nd. gen gun are made better.
